CD drive does not open and the light does not work

original title: single CD player problem

The problem with my CD player seems to be unique I can't find an answer, or someone else with the same problem online.

My computer is custom built, the CD player lasted me 1.5 years no problem, not until one day I realize, it does not open and the light does not work on it, I ordered a new drive and installed that one, still does not work. so, I replaced the SATA cable which connects to the motherboard, still does not.

When I go to my computer the drive appears but when I right click > eject it says: "year error occurred while ejecting CD drive D".  It also appears in devices such as SCSI CdRom Device Manager but I am not sure if it's actually my CD player.

I also tried troubleshooting http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems and no solution.

WTFFF ideas? I really hope that its not the motherboard

There are two cables you need to connect to the drive, one for data and one for power.  You must connect both training at work.  If you only have the data cable is plugged and not cable power which would be a possible cause of the problem that you see.

Sorry, im just of knowledge about computer hardware.  you say that I should try a different agreement or another port to plug in?

I tried to connect on a couple different SATA ports on the motherboard.

    I tried the things:

    1. I tried the ALT, left SHIFT + Number Lock which is indicated as mouse keyboard operation who has worked in the past.

    Well it does not either from the keyboard is dead.

    2. I tried PS2 Mouse and a keyboard.

    3. I tried a keyboard and a USB mouse. The system shows new hardware found and he wonder then click NEXT to load the driver. No mouse, no keyboard, so no click.

    4. I can't get into the bios, because I can't hit keys to vector in the bios during startup.

    5. I tried to load the Windows XP disk, but the startup routine ask me to hit any key to boot from the CD.

    When my DVD drive would not work, I bought an external. I get the same message when I go into properties. Pilots have been disabled.

    Hello

    Check with the manufacturer of the system, their online documentation and drivers, diagnostics, and
    Ask problems known in their forums. You may also check those similar
    resources on the site of the manufacturer of the actual device (for the original drive).

    =================================================================

    It is not surprising that the same issue affects the old and the new drive.

    This problem may be caused by the presence of too many CD/DVD programs competing for resources,
    especially by these programs that run at startup.

    Even if the error is not Code 22 check these:

    Code 22

    If necessary:

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Satellite P10 PSP10E shutdown and the light stays on

    Hello

    I'm having some problems with my old man (2004) Satellite P10 PSP10E-0SCM7-FR

    One day he simply closed (as if power, no BSOD) and the power and the led for WIFI and the CD/DVD button remains lit.

    Most of the time I can't activate it under as the power button is still on. (Power button, WIFI, and CD/DVD are on).

    I tried to remove the battery and unplug the computer for at least 30mm
    I tried to press the Start button for a period of time (one minute) then disconnect everyting (battery and power cord) at least 30 minutes before to turn it back on
    I have reinitialzed the computer using history CD provided with the computer
    I removed the radiator cleaned as well as the fan and then replace a new thermal grease
    I changed the memory

    Yet I still have the same problem, for some reason, the computer simply shutdown and the light stays on. Occasionally, the power light start, and I am able to restart the computer. But I'm unable to understand what makes the computer is shut down, or when that happens, what makes the power light turns off and make it possible to start the computer again.

    No idea what's going on?
    The Start button / stop and led market would be an error message?
    If so, what that means?

    Any help is very appreciated. Thank you!

    We currently use scripts UCCX 7.0 with opening and closing hours of CSQ controlled via defined under the time of day in the script.

    I would like to know if it is possible to control the opening and the closing time of a script based on an agent is connected or not?

    So basically, the office is deemed open when an agent is connected and deemed closed when there is no connected agents regardless of the time.

    If possible, can you kindly point me in the right sense of how implement this corresponds to the script.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Sure... in short:

    -Use a step "to obtain the statistical report" to see how many officers is connected, or "ready" (your choice) and store that in an int variable

    -If this > 0 then 'goto' your behavior variable open.

    -If it is 0 or - 1, then goto closed.

  • creaky opening and the sound door banging

    How do I turn off the sound of the door opening and the door slams sound?

    When you hear these noises?

    In general, go to control panel > sounds and Audio devices, and click on the "Sounds" tab  On the background, part of the tab is a box under the heading "program events".  Scroll through this list.  Every event that has an icon of the left speaker has a partner.  When you select an event by clicking on it with your mouse, the audio file appears in the box under the heading 'sounds '.  To preview a sound, click the play right out of the box 'Sounds '.

    If you find events that produce the sounds of the door you can change the sounds associated with these events by using the drop-down list or the Browse button.  If you don't want any sound, use the [None] entry at the top of the drop-down list.

    If you make changes, OK your way out.  Otherwise, close the dialog box by clicking the Cancel button.
